Until dev get their hands on the LTE version you have to live with it. I'm sure the Korean Note 2 works on all bands except USA if that's what you're asking.

I thought Korea version SHV-E250s have supports different bandwidths, will it support the 3G and 4G EE in UK though~~~

you can root the E250S by flashing recovery.img found in these forums in odin
DO NOT flash boot.img that is sometimes also in the odin tar file or you will not be able to boot into android or recovery.
(although to fix simply flash the stock boot.img back)
source: I rooted mine
(32GB version, LTE)

Thread open until verified...Thank You.

Any pic to proof? I assume this will work for N7105 too... Care to explain step by step tutorial?

This will work for E250K? I suspect that it should right?

Any progress on rooting the Korean Note 2? How many people on this forum have a Korean Note 2? Mine is the E250L (LG telecom)

I have the SHV-E250L (LG U+) and I going to try to stay unrooted.
This info only applies if you are in Korea but with my last Korean Galaxy phone, I took it to the A/S center to get a broken earphone replaced, and they tapped into my phone for 20 minutes trying to prove that it was rooted so they can deny me a free replacement. I know that is just bad luck with the service staff that day. But once they verified that it wasn't rooted, they gave me new earphones. To avoid that kind of hassle because the service at least for the first year is great (free shattered screen replacements while you wait and such), I think try to keep it unrooted for as long as possible. Let's see how long I can hold out...
Most of the reasons I rooted and put roms in the past was to gain access like wifi tethering, better battery life, and better functionality, but none of those are issues with this device. Wifi tethering is enabled without restrictions out of the box and without extra charge.

Some questions about this device
Hi All,
Since this seems to be the only GN2 version available with 32gb internal storage, I am feeling a strong temptation to buy it. However, I do have some concerns I am hoping you owners can address:
1) Is the DMB antenna obvious? I looked at the Samsung Korea site, and most of the photos don't show it. Does it retract or detach in some way? I know I won't be able to use it in the US so am hoping it will be easy to forget about.
2) Does it have a FM radio receiver like the international version?
3) Is the user experience the same as the international version if English is selected as the default language?
Ideally I would like to eventually be able to flash an international rom into the device, but I know that's not possible now. Are any of the current owners expert enough to offer an educated guess as to whether it will be possible in the future?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Calls for Devs, Euroxoom?

Guys, Euroxooms are becoming expensive paperweights pretty quickly.
The boot image is what is bricking the devices as its not compatible when Root is being done.
Obviously we take the risks when we root, but im slightly PO with it Just kidding, i have faith in XDa and i hope to donate soon for such a worthy cause.
My question I pose to the devs is the following, Can someone source out a boot.img to recover back to Stock, for the Mz601 model? (3g / wifi Euro variant)
I see all the recovery and root for the Verizoom, but nothing for our Europe brothers here
Has there or is there, any work being done on recovering bricked devices?
A shot into the dark here .... have you attempted flashing the US system image?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I rooted my UK Xoom without problems but when I tried one of the BigDX Xoom themes I got loads of Force Closures.
I had no option but to flash the boot.img and system.img files taken from the Canadian (MZ604)
At least this recovered my Xoom to a working version and now works fine now running a rooted Xoom with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.0 kernel.
I have now made a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery should I have problems in the future.
Hopefully, someone will pull the recovery.img, boot.img and system.imf files from the UK Xoom???
Cheers
Ody
WAIT
Guys be patient, I have a stock system and boot image for us, we just need to get a recovery, DO NOT ROOT using the methods here, I will post a rooted boot for euro as soon as I can get it tested.
I have asked the people posting the root instructions to mention that it should not be used on the euro xoom's but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

I'm just re-iterating for everyone else who wasn't there
may i suggest that the Devs sticky this for the benefit of the European Xoom.
I bricked mine, bought in york, took to Portsmouth CPW and they replaced it there and then, you might not be so lucky, but i think we need to be careful with bricking it lol ,
On a lighter note, how do we dump our roms with boot, system image files, for the benefit of all those who want to unbrick their uk / euroxooms?
How did you brick your Xoom? You did'nt try and relock it? As I said no problems rooting my Xoom from PCWorld? PUP!!!!

That'll explain it! I may be wrong but to re-lock it, you would need to flash UK image files (boot.img, recovery.img and system.img). I'll leave my UK Xoom unlocked and rooted until Motorola release a proper recovery flash file?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
haha, yeah might be a good idea, you have a DHD too? XD, what you running on it ?
im currently on CM 7.0.2 xd , nice phone :_),
How did you get your root on your tab? i am desperate to root it as TitBAckup is a necessity xd plus i want to experiment, do you think its worth waiting till the files for the Eurotab are released?
When i try to boot my tab after the one click root, it was at that point it was bricked, i didnt try to lock it until after ,
weirdly enough though, i could still use fastboot after to do one click root, etc, and lock and unlock and install CWM,
Yep DHD running HDMix Gingerbread! To be honest I don't think you bricked your xoom if you can still get Fastboot? I don't know why one click root didn't work for you but did for me? That said Titanium isn't working for me with the latest Tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Also just to say my UK Xoom is WiFi only (not 3g) might explain why I could root mine?

yeah if you have a wifi only xxom, thatll explain why you have bee able to use the 604 canadian images.
Quick question for you EU zone Xoom wifi owners... on the back of your device where the CE mark is, does it also list an FCC ID? If so what is it?
yes it does, erm, it would vary with the wifi model obviously, ill have alook abd get back to you

I really should have asked if there was a TUV registration number and FCC ID. (CE mark is a certificate of self conformance).
What I was trying to determine is if the hardware between the euro spec wifi xoom and the us spec wifi xoom are the same. If they are then both units could share the same fcc id. In theory the wifi Xoom could hold both a TUV ID, and FCC ID since there is in theory no need to make engineering changes between the units to meet compliance regulations, and because of the costs involved most companies tend not to make engineering changes if they do not need to.
The 3G units will obviously have variations because of the different Rx/Tx frequencies for the various cellular carriers, but
My WiFi FCC ID Number is IHDT56MT1

Guess it could be a Telus branded WI-FI only 7510 tab.
If it's actually 3g, or whatever they like to call their carrier service, and you can use their carrier service or anything other than WI-FI only. Then it's actually a 7500.
It could be some other crazy hybrid I've noticed being posted about lately other than GT-P7500 & GT-7510.
I'd check the back of the tab at the bottom and confirm what model you have before continuing to try to root.
Kinda hard to read, being so small and almost the same color of the tab, but the model number there is what I'd trust, at least more than the box.

Good luck finding a good ROM that is for a 7510 that supports anything other than WI-FI ONLY.
Of course if it is WI-FI ONLY I'd suggest Task 14.
Overcome ROMs have both 7500 & 7510 version so support may be a lot easier to get and more forthcoming there if it's anything more than WI-FI ONLY.

[Q] Best model to get? Stopped into AT&T got the 900A...

So, Was not in the market for a new phone, stopped into at&t, great salesman added a tablet line and set me up with the phone for the contract price plus 10$ a month. good deal.
I Love this phone!! but as I'm moving from apple, want to be able to have absolutely full control over it including custom roms.
From what I'm reading I have the model (900A) which has the bootloader locked.
I am going to order another Note 3 right now and sell this one. What model is Best and will be fully customizable?
I'm sure this has been covered a thousand times. Please simplify this process for me as I continue to research. Thanks!
The one on ebay I'm considering is entitled:
New Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Quad-Core 5.7'' 13MP 4G LTE 32GB Black Phone
It doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked... You can still customise till your heart content. .. my bootloader is locked. .. hadn't speed me.
To be fair. . There seems more roms available for the n9005 but I'm sure with time they will all get lots of development done

You can load custom roms with a locked bootloader? forgive me, I'm learning as I go
So if I have the 900a.. if I root it am I able to change the color themes etc throughout the system and modify it fully or should I go with the 9005?
If your rooted you are able to change just about everything.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Once you root it and put a custom recovery like cwm or twrp... Flash what you like lol
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
So what specifically are the disadvantages of the 900A vs the 9005?
Thanks for all the help!
Until you root and put in a new ROM the only difference is the ATT bloatware. I know becuase I also have a 900A and have two pages of Apps from ATT that I never will use and can't rid of. In a nut shell the 900A is just ATT variant of the 900.
If you want to see all the difference between the 900A and the 9005 head over to gsmarena and compare the 2.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
What can you do with a bootloader that you can't do with a locked bootloader?
Will I be better off with a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
Explain it to me like I'm a child. Like I said earlier, am moving from apple so it's all new to me.
I don't want to get deep into it and realize I need an unlocked bootloader to do what I want to do.
If it is a non issue tell me why.
Thanks for the help.

With a locked bootloader you can still root, but if you try to flash a recovery/kernel/etc the bootloader will refuse to boot it because it is unsigned. That means no recovery, no kernels, no ROMs...only stock ROM tweaking. The N900A, N9005, N900T, and a few other models are all essentially the same phone with different bootloaders, modems, and stock ROMs. I'd recommend the N900T (T-Mobile) which has all the bands needed for AT&T LTE ready to use after you get it unlocked. The N9005 (international Qualcomm) version lacks the LTE bands for AT&T/T-Mobile I think but you might be able to flash a T-Mo or AT&T modem file to enable them as I think the hardware is actually the same inside.

Root sm-p905V please
I'm completely new to this and unsure about how donation works. Just got my first android device as this sm-p905V.
Likely one of the best pieces of technology I ever purchased. Was very excited about getting perfect-dark for n64 with 2 controllers, but turns out i need root access to get the ps3 cotrollers to bluetooth to the thing.
I just heard about rooting for the first time yesterday while trying to get these controllers working. Sounds like it is alot more exciting than just playing some old school nintendo.=D
I look forward to getting root access and really exploring the usefulness of this device.
They've just posted the first 4.4.2 Rooted Rom for the Verizon Note 3, so I wonder if that will help our devices, which has pretty much the same chipset in it?
We're up to about $200 for the bounty (as far as I have counted). Let's do this!!! (pretty) Please!!!

[Q] Should I flash my G900I with a G900F ROM?

I've flashed many different ROMs over the years and never had issues but I was curious as to whether the different modem in another variant would cause issues with LTE?
The G900I I have has it's dock locked so can't change anything and the always on voice (Hi Galaxy from sleep) doesn't work. These 2 issues seem common with the G900I. Here in Australia our LTE bands seem different to most other countries so I need to know if I screw with the baseband etc, will I have issues with network speed?
Thanks
I have the G900I and here's what I did to get around the locked dock.
Root the rom using cf-root and modify the following.
Open the /system/csc/others.xml file and change TRUE to FALSE on the following line:
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
And while your at it, to enable gallery auto rotate after root, do the following in the same others.xml file
"<CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>TRUE</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>" and change TRUE to FALSE.
Save your changes, reboot
As for using another rom, I'd wait until development is churning out lots of rom variations.

Hmmm interesting... What about the lockscreen camera?
I'm about to flash the Taiwanese firmware to my Telstra Galaxy - it is a G900I however it has all the features unlocked.
For the time being I've just gone the easy way and installed Google Now launcher and Cover lock screen replacement. Good thing about cover is that I turn the phone to landscape and the camera shortcut appears. Nice addition.
Still doesn't get me the always on voice activation tho. The main reason I went with the S5 is because the Moto X was only released with 16GB and no SD.
antigravity - im not sure bout the camera but as far as using the taiwanese firmware let us know how you go. The OP had a good point in that other countries use different LTE bands so it may or may not work. Either way let us know..

Just a heads up op I tried to flash a 900f firmware (uk btu) and it failed straight away possible from a locked bootloader on the aussie phones. So that doesnt help but if you edit the replace hotseat string to false you can move the dock icons to whatever you like. I would also like to know if the taiwanese firmware would work on our 900i's. Hope this helps

Taiwanese firmware works perfectly well on an Australian 900I.
Doesn't have download booster or Paypal fingerprint, but I wouldn't use those features anyway.
Will probably end up loading a custom ROM at some stage, but so far, the Taiwanese firmware works great. No noticeable difference with 3G/4G on the Telstra network.

Taiwanese firmware works perfectly well on an Australian 900I.
Doesn't have download booster or Paypal fingerprint, but I wouldn't use those features anyway.

what do you gain with the taiwanese firmware? do you get an unlocked dock?, can you turn off the shutter sound on the camera?, do you get the auto rotate in the gallery? thanks.

i'm running alliance custom g900f on my Aussie g900i and the biggest problem I've faced and others with other custom roms is it breaks the NFC to be non fictional.
An update just came out today for the aussie 900i new build ending in D2
Was C6

What about yhe always on voice control?
Has anyone here tried flashing the unbranded xsa over the Telstra firmware. From previous experience on my old s4, the dock was still locked on xsa firmware. Also is anyone finding WiFi to be slow on Telstra firmware. The browser loads very slow, my friends note 3 on same WiFi connection is fine.

I've got an unbranded phone, bought from samsung direct, dock is locked, and all other restrictions on the other aussie versions are on this one too (can't turn off the camera shutter sound, no auto rotate in gallery, etc)

That's sucks. I don't understand why they lock features to certain countries. Firmware should be the same across the board, only modems should change for different carriers.
